Re: [BUG] var=$* and var=$@ create array with SHWORDSPLIT and null or unset IFS

This sounded naggingly familiar, and indeed:

    30299: "$*" was split with SHWORDSPLIT if IFS was empty or unset

Undoing 30299 fixes the bug Martijn is reporting here, but re-introduces
the incorrect splitting behavior.

I haven't gotten any further with it than that.
